I'm not much of a world traveler. In fact, my extent of language is based on what I see in books (the old days) and now the web. I do play football in a Sunday beer league and have learned all kinds of "provocative words" in Spanish, Russian, Polish, German, Portuguese, Latvian and several dialects of Middle east extraction. If he said what was in one of the articles then man up and admit it and take your lumps. Not excusing just saying that it was heated battle between them at times in the game and just admit you lost your temper and learn from it.

However, I have no faith or trust in the FA and if find it very odd that several Leeds players and one ex player said they did not hear it. Team support is one thing but with the severity of FA punishments I'd be surprised that no one would not turn him in if he said it.

Mrs. O. Your story on Sampson does not apply. he does play or is involved with Leeds. Therefore a different set of standards applies to him rather than if he was Leeds.

I think it's ironic that they tried to do maximum damage to us with the timing of the ban. It just might backfire as Meslier might have a breakout spell with us and end up in the running for our Keep next year. I think Kasper was about the same age when he broke in with us and he's done quite well for himself.
